Description of Volumes 1 and 2

1 . Introductory note . The following pages comprise a rough description of the John Sandfield Macdonald papers . With a few exceptions they consist of letters written to Macdonald 1850-56, with a few of no great significance 1864-8, as well as a few undated and of little consequence .

During the period 1850-56 the chief correspondents were John Walker, A .M. Mackenzie and D .E . McIntyre . Walker and Mackenzie were in charge of Macdonald's private and business interest s in Cornwall . McIntyre was sheriff and appears to have been on intimate terms with J .S . Macdonald .

Walker's letters are almost entirely devoted to business but a few observations on local feeling have been noted where they occur . He appears to have begun to drink heavily towards the end of 185 2 and his letters practically cea-se .

Mackenzie is an entirely different type of correspondent and between reports as to getting in the hay and latest detail upo n some law suit, one gets a vivid report of local feeling upon political issues, as seen through the eyes of a Scotch Presbyterian, violen t in his anti-French, anti-Catholic opinions . The whole difficulties implied in the union of Upper Canada and Lower Canada are manifested in this man's reaction to the question of the Clergy Reserves and Ecclesiastical corporations, the University bill, secularization and the general question of education . Some material of interest is found in letters from June 1854-56 in which he makes continued complain t of the disorganized condition of the postal service . When J .S . Macdonald took up the question Mackenzie continued to ply him with detail . McIntyre's letters show a keen interest in political matters . McIntyre stood for "equal rights" and was anxious that every question should be judged from that standpoint .

Political personalities came in for some drubbing, Francis Hincks and George Brown suffered most . Brown's attitude caused considerable religious agitation between Presbyterians and Roman Catholic elements . Hincks' frequent combinations were looked upon asdishonesty by the more uncomprising and simple minded partisans of J .S . Macdonald . Throughout one gets a picture of the virtual impossibility of a successful solution of the problems which caused such feverish agitation, due to prejudice against Lower Canada - partly racial and partly religious .

1850-51

If it is ---- to pay the clergy out of the reserves fund, is it not a greater sin to take money out of people's pockets for pay --- I am not clear on this question . "

Continues "I want and we all want in Glengarry as you well know, equal justice to all classes and that every person be allowed to go to heaven in his own way . This has heretofore been your platform and I am certain your constitutents are too, certain, whether in power or out of it, you will continue to uphold these great and broad principles . I feel that it was the aim of the F 10"

"You are by vote referred to, prepared to permit any scavanger to practice medicine, but see if you allow even a barrister from another Bar to obtain priveleges in this province, much less would open the profession to all in accordance with your friend Mackenzie's bill. God known, you have nothing to fear on this score, and you should on that account deal equally with both professions. The medical profession never received justice at the hands of the lawyers in the house. I am for free trade in law as well as medicine. That question is the soundness of the Policy. But it is a grit principle and therefore must be a plank with political, demogogues who are afraid of their seats--which is not so with you."

A.M. Mackenzie Oct. 9. Reports that special meeting of County Council re debentures, Macd's brother introduced a set of resolutions against Hincks University Division (?) scheme, unaminously carried and will be forwarded to Brown. People not satisfied with Baldwin bill because it left the institution "in hands and under control of High Churchman as much as it ever was and consequently does not and never will command the confidence of people".. .University is doomed unless some more liberal and beneficial measure introduced than Hincks or John A.

A.M. Mackenzie, March 2. Bitter comment on administrative measures--- University Bill will cause dissatisfaction. It will set sects scrambling for share of spoil--It would be better to break up Establishment and use money for grammar schools. "For the life of me I cannot see how it is, that the present government and party are following the wake of their predecessors in doing almost everything but those things for which they were sent to parliament. Who asked Mr. Hincks for his Tory---University Bill? Who asked Mr. Richards for the Yankee code which he copied or got copied in place of law reform? and who asked Mr. Richards to copy almost verbatim the Tory Grammar School Bill of '47 introduced by John A. Macdonald, which was rejected by the Reformers and I believe by Mr. Richards himself? "He accuses the party of desire to establish Ecclesiastical Corporations" Only 5 members of U.C. could be induced to vote that 'Ladies of Charity" should be restrained in acquisition of property."

Sheriff D.E. McIntyre, March 23, -- thinks fifth man might be given to the counties. Local political gossip. Petition being got up re. Railway route. "I wish the line was once and all settled. It is a source of annoyance to all parties in the country. Nothing causes more discontent and excitement than these local conflicting questions of alleged rights and claims." (pages 524-525)

A.M. Mackenzie, March 24 -- There is a good deal of talk in a quiet way vs. any more Roman Catholic being appointed as it is argued that out of 18 Government and municipal situations only four are enjoyed by Protestants." (pages 526-527)

A.M. Mackenzie, March 25, --bitter critjcijsmof legislature for bothering about "the election of popish or any other churchwardens "attack on observation of religious holidays as legal measure. (pages 529-530)

Glengarry with 18,000 only one. (pages 533-535) 7 Sheriff D.E. McIntyre, March 27. "The Militia Bill if it passes will be inoperative. It is all very fine for Mr. Solicitor General Smith to cast his dirty slang at the Glengarry people about cavalry and helping themselves. Such witless talk as this may suit such new fledged statesmen as Mr. Smith, but I can tell him that 20,000 Highlanders in Glengarry mark such weak effort to throw mud at them and the begbear about annexation which the ultra clique in the House offers as another cry for loyalty will be appreciated here for what it is worth. (pages 536-537)

R.S. Macdonald, April 1 -- thinks Representative bill is on the whole very fair. "Lot of talke about the Lochiel Ry. resolutions and feeling that Macdonald did not look after the interests of the country "that you took office and placed yourself in a podiyion 5i.p7 to be of little service to your country.

D.E. McIntyre, May 19 -- (the next few letters are dated from Montreal) Why is Government imposed on by the tail of the Upper House in this way. The country would sustain them in acting on Lord Grey's views with reference to the Reform Bill of 31. If the popular branch is thus to be controlled by an irresponsible body the sooner a change takes place in the nature of things the better. (pages 604-605)

R.S. Macdonald, Lancaster, May 20. Trouble over high water. Commissioners should be appointed to estimate the losses.

(pages 606-607)

R.S. Macdonald, Lancaster, Sept. 15, "All parties against present arrangement. You could not get address for Lord Elgin in Glengarry." (pages 690-691)

A.M. Mackenzie, Sept. 22. With regard to Tory ministry, says that it was a much needed lesson to the Reform party. If they had kicked out the Lafontaine-Baldwin and Hincks-Rolph ministries they would have been in a stronger position. (pages 698-699)

Criticism of P.O. Eastern papers and letters frequently received by Western instead of Eastern mail. (pages 698-699)

Sept. 23. The Sheriff reports that friends of all parties in Glengarry are "all Right". Is infuriated with those who sold themselves to Hincks whom he abuses. This should make Reformers think. (pages 702-703) It.ffefrfr

A.M. Mackenzie, Sept. 27---Irish delighted with coalition ministry in hopes that Reserves will be retained, believes that "state church party would only be permitted to retain their own share. For both Kirk and English Church say that Pope is antichrist and yet they have been sharing the reserves with him for years and will continue to do so if permitted."(pages 707-708)

D.E. McIntyre, Sept. 28. Comments that Reciprocity Treaty is due to William Hamilton Merritt "I well remember the abuse of that Gentleman Hincks through the Pilot. Held him up to the country as a visionary and a dangerous public man; as one, if he could but get a party insane enough to help him in his views would lead the country to destruction. "Hincks investives were not less sparing on the Ocean Steamer and tug boats and yet Hincks is mean enough to appropriate the credit of these projects to himself and his Godfather Lord Elgin. Was there no one among the 130 members to stop Drummond's obsequious speech and pandering to Lord Elgin and Hincks on the measure referred to.

"I am pleased that you gave Langton his change for his assault cn, Rolph and Mackenzie. These men have done service to the country which Langton and his Tory allies can never boast of, and he owes the Liberty he has of abusing them in the House to such men as Mckenzie and Rolph. It is too late in the day to talk bumpkin loyalty. We understand this kind of stuff when offered by such as Mr. Langton who is looking over the fence for a share of the clover on the treasury bench."

Fears that Dorion party will adhere to petty nationality. U.C. will watch moves closely.

"We shall not be satisfied with anything less than total abolition of all sectional legislation--no sectionalism of any kind, no preference given to any sect over another, even Mr. Secretary Chaveau's notion of the Normal School will not be submitted to...will not his explanation open the eyes of the U.C. backsliders-- if not, the people will at the next election here."

No money grants-- the whole administration of justice, heavy lunatic taxes besides we have to make our roads, Bridges &c. is thrown upon the people of the municipalities and an enormous revenue oiled up in several pet banks to suit the notions of speculative jobbers in and out of government--- the legislature council must be all in the hands of the people- no half measures part by the Crown and the people wont do and the power to elect own speaker must be part of the bill. je 'eh'

10 I see no reason why prosperity of the country is so much talked of at the expense of the Fariner over taxed in every thing down, to the dung fork. Langton's assessment bill has done this whilst he allowed money invested in mortgages to go free.--- this truly for a statesman. Let him at once define that clause affecting the Farmer or let McKenzie look to it-- the whole system of legislation is false to the interest of the people.

It is for a class, like Langton's assessment amendment bill. The election of all local offices but the sheriff's I am not interfering with the administration of Justice-- save that monstrous chancery court. I hope that the present session will not be allowed to pass without testing Hincks' trimming and servile majority on this evil to our country and the people. (pages 711-714)

A.M. Mackenzie, Sept. 29 - complains about mail service and expresses his opposition to sectarian schools. (pages 715-716)

A.M. Mackenzie, Sept. 30, hostility to Hincks. (pages 717-718)

A.M. Mackenzie, Oct. 17. Hatred of Hincks who he holds has been traitorous to Macdonald. (pages 734-735)

D.E. McIntyre, Oct. 16, feels that sectarian clause should be removed before Reserves applied to education. Feels that Legislative Council bill is mockery with Life members and tenure on good behaviour, qualification clause is nonsense. Hincks deserves a trouncing for attack on Macdonald. Comment on fact that Brown is on investigating committee which will, decide upon action of Hincks. (pages 732-733)

W. Armstrong, Kingston, Nov. 4, disgusted present situation. Macdonald's time will come soon. (740-743)

D.E. McIntyre, Nov. 9, thinks present reserves act will better position of denominational bodies. (pages 748-749)

A.M. Mackenzie, Nov. 11, comments on number of appointments given RCs. (pages 758-760)

D.E. McIntyre, Nov. 15, hears that Macdonald is "at death's door". The reserves proceeds might be as well applied to build a monument to Judas who contributed his part for the redemption of mankind. He obeyed a command. (page 771) le 1110,4 len

11 A.McBean, Athol Mills, Nov. 17-- Has always stuck to the Conservative side of the House but the actions of the present ministry have disgusted him and he believes the people in general are also disgusted, especially with Hincks. "I fear the Clergy Reserves will be a great disappointment and if they saddle Canada West, to pay the seignors for the pet Habitant lands, then there is no end to robbery for office sake, Canada West is actually distressed and I fear the end is not yet. If there ever was a cause for trouble in Canada West it is now when they are completely sold to the French party. (pages 780-781)

C. Claude Grace, Stonefield, Nov. 20-- The petition of James Mason is almost a duplicate of my own, and showes that the nuisance of railways bears with the saine hardship on all the farming interests of the country... Hopes Macdonald will get Railway Consolidation act modified. There is no doubt a case made out for what I am contending i.e. to control Corporate Companies and to make them do right summarily and at little delay or cost. It is of most solid consequence and concerns the honor of Parliament more than anything else they are wasting time and money about. (pages 792-795)

15 John Sandfield Letters to John A. Macdonald

The following is a rough calendar of the J.S. Macdonald letters in the John Alexander Macdonald papers, (MG 26, A). These letters for the most part, are very vague and imply a complete understanding on general principles between the two men. The most important fact which emerges from a perusal of them is that J.S. Macdonald was anxious to cooperate in every way with Sir John. In dealing with specific questions, it would appear that the general policy had already been orally agreed upon prior to any letter writing. In some instances one encounters the remark that full discussion can wait until an opportunity for a meeting occurs. Unity of sentiment is particularly apparent on questions of disallowance of provincial legislation. The few letters on this subject are concerned with suggestions as to remedies which would meet federal approval. J.S. Macdonald would seem to be willing to accept the delimination of provincial legislative power as understood by the Federal authorities.

1858

Jan. 26, John A. Macdonald to J.S. Macdonald, Toronto: telegram (private and confidential) request that he join Government, that a Reformer - not a Grit be his colleague.

Jan. 27. Telegram from J.S. Macdonald: "NO GO".

1867

Aug. 19, J.S. Macdonald to J.A. Macdonald. Enquires re. McLaughlin or Laughlin that he had a letter from J.A. Macdonald promising that Federal Government would take no action vs. him if he would run against J.S. Macdonald in Cornwall.

Letters Aug. 19, 22, 29, re. progress of campaign.

1868

All letters from J.S. Macdonald to J.A. Macdonald

May 6. - Mut persist in his refusal as Attorney General of Ontario to consent to issue of special commission for trial of prisoners. "The reasons advanced by you since then are not of nature to justify any change of opinion I then formed. It is quite clear that ends of justice will be best maintained by allowing parties to be tried in ordinary course. 16

June 5. States policy of Ontario Government re immigration. Encouragement has been given by free grant system but are unwilling to incur any expense. Outlay on Intercolonial will give work to emigrant. On last point he says "the advantages to Quebec and N.B. resulting from the outlay, you are aware will necessarily entail on our people up here a vastly disproportionate share of taxation by our contribution to meet the interest on the capital to be borrowed whilst the immediate benefit will be confined to the Provinces named. Dom. Government should take lead in aid of emigrants. Public works necessary to induce emigrants to come to Ontario.

Aug. 22. Will watch Whelan case.

Comments on "the sell as you call it" which he states to be one of most glaring acts of defection which can be found in our election annals for many, many years.

Nov. 18. Discusses legislation changes necessary to be made. Question of federal objections to legislation will be taken up. Considers Lord Monck discourteous. John Macdonald mistaken if he thinks Ont. went too far on electoral law. No other course would have done. Refers to retirement of Ryerson.

Nov. 28. "We are engaged in Council today considering Rose's last manifesto re. public debt. We will have to sit two or three hours tonight. I do not see how we can recede from position taken by Treasurer Wood which was not assumed without due consideration. It is quite evident to me that some mode must be devised by which the difficulties in regard to the items in dispute can be settled by arbitration". Will ask authority to name person for that purpose. Quebec will no doubt do the same. Regrets that provision was not made at confederation for present case. Wood will deliver ultimatum.

1869

Jan. 22. Reference to letter from political opponent, finds it hard enough to satisfy friends without bothering about enemies. Thinks Ontario legislation has been good and that it will not be found to have invaded federal preserves.

"Don't you think protest of nine M.P.P. was as well conceived as it was carried out. Letters coming in scores lauding them for manly stand they took. It required a good deal of management to get them to the point, but it was done and it is now a task to keep them from going further. 17

Oct. 6. Blake has called for papers re acts objected to. Lays down policy with regard to certain acts which he hopes will get over difficulties. Comments on attitude of press.

Dec. 22. There are difficulties in way of legislating as you wish. Thinks question (not stated) should not have been referred to England. Other questions about disallowance, on which question Macdonald seems most philosophical. Anxious to cooperate with Hincks. What has been said in newspapers not supported officially.

1870

Nothing of importance.

1871

Feb. 21. Will hold elections at once. Have succeeded in putting "Grits off the scent and I desire they should continue to be misled by believing that elections shall come off in June."

Mar. 24. Progress of election.

Dec. 19. Announces resignation. Blake has been sent for. The Speaker turned turtle on us. 18
